Xishuangbanna, a place with a beautiful name

Day1: Manting Park + Zongfo Temple + Riverside Night Market 14:30-17:30 Manting Park + Zongfo Temple The two places are connected, with an entrance fee of 40 yuan, once the royal garden of the Dai king. 18:30-21:00 Riverside Night Market The Riverside Night Market is very close to Manting Park, just a 15-minute walk away. There are many snack stalls, selling Dai clothing and accessories, sisters who want to take beautiful photos are recommended to go to the Starlight Night Market. Day2: Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences + Starlight Night Market 10:20-11:50 Take the bus You can search for the botanical garden bus on Ctrip and buy tickets for 25 yuan per person, boarding at the Jinghong Bus Station. After arriving at the botanical garden, buy a return ticket at the drop-off point, also for 25 yuan per person. The return buses run all afternoon, leaving when full, with the last bus at six o'clock in the evening. 13:00-16:00 Visit the botanical garden. I bought a full-price ticket + transportation ticket for the west area (130 yuan per person). I feel that if you're visiting for an afternoon, just buying the transportation ticket for the west area is enough, as you can't cover too much ground. It involves taking a ride, walking for a bit, then taking another ride, and walking again, with each walking segment lasting about 20-30 minutes. The place is beautiful, with many tropical plants I've never seen before, and you can take photos at the hot air balloon area. 🌴🌴🌴
